Top Gear - Gumpert Apollo

[jbancroft888]

The shot at 2:15 is unreal!!!

[willwood1]

Looks like an rx8 that got fucked by a dump truck...



[OOEPOB]

the car is unique who cares how the way it looks it handles and runs great!!

P.S like the way Stig always be listening to either classical or slow songs

[usaXmafia]

I think its the most beautiful car i da world u guys r just retarted

[SH1974]

P.s. If I'd own a car just for the looks, it would be a '71 C3 Stingray.

[kujo317]

the end cracked me up .... you short little bastard :)

[thejewishnose]

looks like a remote control car

[Ferrarifazer5269]

This is unusual that Hammond is saying shit about the stig instead of clarkson

[ravenwda007]

Zonda R beat the FXX

[MASTBRANDONTHEBOSS95]

Op et laatste issie echt een droogkloot

[NeGroDoO]

5 people are unable to dream...

[call911plz03]

240p......... we meet agian

[NeGroDoO]

@call911plz03 good program good car, 240p? :(



[Shelldamage]

Form follows function, thats the difference bedween Gumpert and Aston Martin..., that car is engineered, not designed!

[kzruns]

@Shelldamage

very well said.

[SH1974]

@Shelldamage Exactly!!

I really woner what a track time the 800HP version would bring!!??

Anyone here own an 800HP Apollo? ;-)

Please handle it to the Stig!

I would, if I'd own one!

[EugeneCamilleri]

@SH1974 No one would bother owning one. It's a great car and all..but it just dosen't have that factor that Bugatti, Pagani, ferrari and Lamborghini have.

[SH1974]

@EugeneCamilleri But the Gumpert has got something,

Ferrari or Pagani or Lamborginiwill never have:

IT IS MADE IN GERMANY!

And I don't think it's ugly.

[EugeneCamilleri]

@SH1974 So what if it's german? And it's not that it's ugly..it's not that bad looking actually. But they don't have the name, or the bling factor, of say, a 458 Italia, or an aventador, or a Zonda.

[SH1974]

@EugeneCamilleri Gumpert is a german name, like Ferrari or Lamborgini are italian names. Nothing unusual.

If You grew up in a land of german language, (I did, in switzerland) the name "Gumpert" does not sound bad.

Even better then Müller or Meier. But if some Meier would build fast supercars, I'd buy a Meier if I'd had the sum... :)

[EugeneCamilleri]

@SH1974 Im not saying that the name Gumpert is an ugly name. 'm a huge fan of german names, my puppy is called Fritz :) But "I just bought a new Gumpert" just dosen't sound as good as "Hey, I just picked up my new lambo today". Also, you'd have to admit that for the price of the Gumpert (around $500,000), you can buy an Aventador, a Ferrari 699 GTO or a Zonda F Roadster. and any one of those, especially the Aventador, will get you more liiks than the Gumpert.

[SH1974]

@EugeneCamilleri Okay, it may give You more likes - but fact is: the Gumpert is faster... ;)

So You'll don't have to say "I buoght a new Gumpert" - just say "I bought a german supercar that smokes all italian cars!".

They'll hate You, cause You have not payed for a name - but for quality.

(Btw: once I had a ride on the passengers seat of a F40. I'll never buy a Ferrari! It is fast (no doubt) but the fabrique quality is "too much italian" - if You know what I mean... ;-)

[EugeneCamilleri]

@SH1974 You are right. The Gumpert is faster. but as I've pointed out before on many other videos, the most you'll ever need to get to, on the Coast Highway, the Autobahn, or a deserted M40, would be around 200mph. Both the 458 iTalia and Aventador can pull that off, and they can do it, while looking good. The Gumpert is a track car. It's interior is nothing special, and neither is it's exterior. And all that power is useless off a track. It's a good car, but ui'd rather get a lambo..

[SH1974]

@EugeneCamilleri Every single curve can be a track. ;-)

I don't like Lambo style, I'd rather have an Audi R8 instead.

But if I had the sum to buy one of those cars, I would buy 2 cars:

One for fun (Ariel Atom 300) and one for every day use (an Audi or BMW 4WD-Wagon).

For every day use, I'm now really content with my 2,0l Toyota RAV-4 Turbodiesel.

It runs 200km/h (that's enough for most situations) and has an average consumption of 6,2l per 100km, that's about 38mpg (US) or 45mpg (UK).

[EugeneCamilleri]

@SH1974 Haha..I am a bit more of a petrol-head. I don't have an everyday car. My only car is a '97 Dodge Viper. Not the most fuel economic car, but the looks are worth it. However, I agree with you, one should have 2 cars..a fun race/track toy, and an everyday car.

For an everyday car, any old Volvo or Toyota would do.

For a Track/Race toy, or a car to drive me when I'm going out, my Viper is perfect, but with an unlimited budged, I'd get an aventador. Gumpert dosent bring the looks :)

[SH1974]

@EugeneCamilleri Volvos (especially the older ones) consumes a lot and have the agility of a battleship. You use a '97 Viper every day? Woow, that's tough! In switzerland, the gasoline stations (and in the winter the repair-centers) would be good friends of You... ;-)

No, If I' ever have a toy like this, it would be the Atom 300. 300 HP seems to be not so much, but for a car that weighs only 500kg it is way enough...

But if I'own sums to have more toys, the Apollo would be one of them... :-)

[EugeneCamilleri]

@SH1974 Haha..the Viper is actually very kind to me, it hardly ever screws up, but yeah, petrol consumption is a problem. And you like the stringray? Look up '71 dodge charger. Now that's a car.. And true, my ideal everyday car would be a Fiat 500 or a Toyota iQ. As for a track toy however, I wouldn't want the Atom, simply because the Atom is useless off track. I can't pick up a date, or show up to a party in an Atom. But if I had unlimited cash...Aventador first, but id get the Gumpert too :)

[MrCold1337]

@Shelldamage Am I the only one who thinks it looks great?? o.O

[MrMadpenguin]

@MrCold1337 I´m with you, it is made not to look good, but to be good, and that means it is styled for performance, and for me, that gives a sort of beauty.

[fluxulation]

Inspiration for burnout cars, brilliant!

[MacGyver920]

Fuck you guys! It's not ugly!

[highwaystar1009]

what the hell's wrong with these people, the car looks brilliant.

[talkingpens]

which pixel is the gumpert??

[ghibli19963217]

Need for speed by GUMPERT APOLLO

[anmomin15]

Quality sucks!

[MacGyver920]

Shut up, people! I like it. I think it's cool.

[2sickFORu]

@MrIrishlogic i dont think its ugly i guess every ones sees it different

[2sickFORu]

@MrIrishlogic its a beautiful car true the name is ugly but if this is ugly so is the bugatti,reventron,enzo,f1...et­c......

[darklander81]

where's James?

[Narutofan1000k]

i think it looks cool, not pretty or sexy, just cool because it looks stupid fast...and it is

[tomcamp6023]

Looks like a kit car. It's not all about speed. I want it to look good as well. In the real world we have speed limits and traffic.

[niebells]

Mr. Hamster just wrecked the list! Literally!

[OveremotioN]

The car is cool, kids

[OveremotioN]

Kids, don't write smiting

[mrhazza33]

fuck the names and the looks id drive it upside down in a tunnel

[seblekebab]

it reminds me burnout cars ... ^^

[PwnagePony77]

That car is NOT ugly.

[eggz01]

ZOMG! Full HD!

[Black12Phoenix]

which episode is this?

[mightywaffle51]

I actually like the looks. Has that Rush 2049 look to it.

[Sursion7]

I'd drive it upside down :(

[CHRIS11OF11ABERNANT]

@MrIrishlogic

id say the logo is pretty vile aswell

[DJGIARDINZ]

@MrIrishlogic well that ugly car is 100% faster than yours and worth more than your house and whatever you own.

[OceanCinema]

You guys might hate it, too bad you couldn't afford one in your life time. Like to watch you guys in your Ford Falcons.

[TeChNoWC]

I don't know why Clarkson and everyone else are saying this is ugly. It's one of the sickest looking cars i've ever seen, and I would be proud to park it anywhere. Plus, the name is freakin awesome.

[kuruptzZz]

@TeChNoWC it looks like the ridiculous "dream" cars I sketched when I was 10 years old...and the name doesn't exactly intimidate, does it?

like Hammond said though, all those ugly bits of the body are there for one reason only: SPEED!

[ArmanCortez1]

@TeChNoWC thats what it is SICK/BADASS/MONSTROUS looking. What they mean by the gumpert looking ugly is that it does not look elegant/sexy/pretty. You would look idiotic if you drove one in a suit. It looks like a Frankenstein cars, with all the body looking like a kit car. This is like comparing a Mercedes with a Viper. The Viper is all about speed, no creature comforts, no taking your girlfriend in it (unless she is a tomboy). Both are hot but in different ways.

[yasiths]

anybody saw the MI 24?

[SPOOKSTR]

My Austin 1800 will smack that shit box all over the track.

[VidzXP]

LOOKS horrible? What's wrong with u guys? xP It's amazing.

[qettyz]

@MrIrishlogic Maybe it's ugly, but its fast like hell! Do no let the look disturb =)

[NiallatUTube]

The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport has beaten the Gumpert Apollo's track test.

And Veyron is much heavier and more luxurious too.

[zeboladaum1]

@NiallatUTube

you are wrong

[aaKonda]

Looks horrible, sounds horrible, fast as hell.

[RiceMixersXD]

Does Gumpert sound like a name of a gun to anybody?

[PaperExplosives]

@RiceMixersXD Sounds like a name for a fat guy

[hejjagedu]

@PaperExplosives actually it is, the founder of the brand is named Roland Gumpert (not sure about first name)

[Shift4chizzle]

i dont think it is ugly

[skilkiller10]

this car is cute i will buy it if i have tat much of money...(it just a dream)

[fightnight1989]

In reply to my recent reply.. I have since spoken to my mate.. He didnt co-own the company.. He just owns the Blue Apollo sport seen in this video.. Apparently he said if they fiddled with the suspension and other stuff he would have been able to get up to a second more off the track time but Top gear said they were fine with the time that was set.

[Foxyon55]

Give us ago hamster!

[Unbreakablekid95]

yeh this hot wheeler will take out most of the competition in the world

[CannDjib]

I'm busy, i'm painting... my horse :D

[D12ifToUge]

LOL at Hammond

[Anitrex4Anitrex]

Why are you guys even comparing this to Bugatti Veryon,,The Bugatti costs almost 5 times as much>>

And yup this car is the one of the best looking cars,,but then it isn't meant to be,,its just meant to deliver a good bang for the buck ultra-sports car which it successfully does!!

[rob605sqn]

200km an hr thats 120mph, theres 280km an hr, which is.....very fast lol

[LOGIC42369]

ugly manufacturer name, but appolo sounds alright. whys everyone think its such an ugly car? i think it looks pretty tight

[spearkill]

@ironlemmy, i'm aware, i never said "super sport" did i?

[thecanman1000]

@euroexoticfreak22 germany is king in almost every car

[dadspan]

if i had that car i wouldnt waste time painting my horse thats for sure!!!

[einMonster]

german art ;)

[rotaryx3]

Still could beat the 1:17.1 track time with the Gumpert

[justus1995]

224mph WITHOUT the wing!

[TheTarrMan]

I'll do it for free

[vKiLLBoTv]

they build a super fast supercar and call it a gumpert. omfg

[SolidSolaris]

@vKiLLBoTv its name is Apollo u dumb nut! 

[Andrew61291]

@SolidSolaris lol, it's also the gumpert, who's dumb?

[2kidsnbroke]

So German, technically perfect but ugly and still on the fringes of whats normal.

[RKSS17]

that car actually looks pretty good

[FISHURMOMBALL]

i think that if the Stig had gone flat out through the follow through in the Koenigsegg, the CCX would have beaten the gumpert

[tazkar3]

@FISHURMOMBALL no way

[260zfan]

looks like a hot wheels car

[redtail5]

dude so does every car there mini replica cars.

[260zfan]

are u getting angry at me coz i said it loooks like a hot wheels car?

[redtail5]

not angry at all just thought id throw it out there

[zenthex1234]

@260zfan it does...

[HeyHeyHey021]

Wait I mean 5:49. Now thats a fail

[HeyHeyHey021]

3:49 LOL epic fail

[robotmafia000]

LMAO!! fail at the end

[mouserorignal]

cool car

[nobodytrustsme]

OMG! That car is so BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!! The veyron and the koenigsegg ccx might not be as fast on the top gear track but at least they make the right noises!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mendelgarage]

the tunnel:)

[AdrenalineJunkieXL]

rolland gumpert said he just wanted a car he can drive on the roof of a tunnel and this car can

[Gboy722]

really great racecar

[Cybergig00]

"im painting my horse" ---made me lol....

[Janusha]

Any car that is this quick wont be pleasant to use for everyday stuff. You cant really build cars that are this quick for customers to enjoy them when driving to the shops. This is a race car that really shouldnt have number plates at all.

[buckyohare420]

R35, M3, M5, NSX, 911, there are a few really fast cars that are still daily driver friendly

[Janusha]

none of these will go around the Nurburg ring in 7 and a half minutes. These you mention are fairly normal sportscars. Not razor sharp race cars with numberplates. Like The Gumpert, Radical, Caparo and so on.

[coacth]

r35 did it in 7.26 ur wrong

[Janusha]

Oh for fucks sake...

[Lombardizzle]

When you spend $400,000+ on a car, you're not using it to take to shops. You only use it to rob banks, get women, and keep in your garage.

[260zfan]

yeah but what a car to pick up milk in

[karbine409]

Gumpert Apollo all the way..

its a mentally great car.

[MrBugattieveyron]

the buggati did not do well on the track cos it is not built to be a track car i mean it ways over 2 tons its built for strait line speed and would frash anycar in a drag just like it did the pogni zonda my fav car evr

[Riskshocker]

bugatti veyron at drag.... omg ;D

the pagani is very cool, but i like the koeniggsegg

the gumpert is a almost perfect car, it only looks like a... xD

[bigM10231]

have respect for the other ones

[Hadogei123456789]

I think the Veyron looks better. However, it did not beat this car on the track. I still prefer the Veyron like you though. There's something about it...I'd really love to see a race between the two. Both a drag and one around a track. =D

[Silvoleon]

yes in a straight line

[F0RBESY]

besides, no one asked you

[spearkill]

@MrBugattieveyron, the veyron was slower than this thing around the test track

[SushiSlush]

@MrBugattieveyron dude. that totaly depends on what you intend to do with it, the gumpert is faster around a track, the Veyron would win in a dragrace. i think both of them looks absolutely horrible.

[MrAmorbis]

@SushiSlush oh cmon the veyron doesnt look THAT bad. its alot better looking then a Lamborghini..unless its the Reventon, then no its way uglier

[dqSOBERqd]

@MrBugattieveyron You think? There was FXX on Top Gear which did lap in 1:10.7. And what time was showing a Veyron?(I do not know) I think... No! It must be slower! It just couldn't be faster! And in which way your Veyron is better?

[Shift4chizzle]

@MrBugattieveyron and how come this beat it?

[markschoices]

Awesome car

[Kevman76]

I want one.. Now.

[0xek0x]

It's incredibly fast but not good looking.. Doubt this becomes a hit.
